Original Prompt

Finding implicit and explicit text evidence in a reading passage

This resource focuses on the distinctions between explicit and implicit evidence in texts. It defines explicit evidence as information that is directly stated in the text, such as a quote that can be highlighted or quoted. Implicit evidence, on the other hand, requires readers to draw conclusions based on text clues and personal knowledge, often involving interpretation beyond what is directly presented. The document includes worked examples, guided practice exercises for identifying both types of evidence, and opportunities for self-assessment. By engaging with various examples, readers will practice distinguishing explicit and implicit evidence in passages and enhancing their overall reading comprehension skills.
